The varied topography, climate and soil varieties of the Highveld and Lowveld regions within Mpumalanga ensure a diverse agricultural landscape.
The agricultural economy of Mpumalanga is well-balanced, based on the production of a wide variety of crops, as well as animals and animal products. The variety relates to the different climatic conditions found across the Province. As a destination it has a lot to offer its visitors.
Sharing borders with Mozambique and Swaziland, it has many unique cultural aspects and is of course the gateway to the Kruger National Park. Affectionately called ‘the Kruger’.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”sandy_brown” border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]Mpumalanga is one of South Africa’s most productive and important agricultural regions.
Extending over 2 million hectares, the Kruger has to be the greatest attraction on offer in Mpumalanga. It is, however, not the only reason to visit Mpumalanga and we are always looking to promote some of the impressive but lesser-known sites and attractions.
Below are just a few of the more obvious areas of interest:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1456911302167{padding-top: 15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”Kruger National Park” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”Sabi Sands Game Reserve” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”The Panoramic Route” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”Blyde River Canyon” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1456911314811{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”God’s Window” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”Cultural tours to rural community areas and schools” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”Trout fishing (Dullstroom, Lydenburg)” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qk_service_block2 title=”Waterfalls, caves & canyons” icon=”fa-chevron-circle-right”][/qk_service_block2][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1456911421426{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #d5784c !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear” css=”.vc_custom_1507106753324{background-color: #d5784c !important;}”]Access
Mpumalanga can be accessed by road or air. We have three major airports that service Mpumalanga and the Kruger National Park

The Lowveld (the area is 1 000m below sea level, also known as “The Bushveld”) is mostly subtropical, due to its proximity to the warm Indian Ocean off the coast of nearby Mozambique. The province’s Highveld regions are comparatively cooler, mainly due to a higher altitude of 2 300 to 1 700m above sea level. The Drakensberg escarpment receives the most rain, with all the other areas being moderately well watered by mostly summer thunderstorms. The Highveld can experience winter frost, but the Lowveld and Kruger Park is a frost-free area. Winters are usually dry with the majority of rain falling in the summer months.
The Average temperatures of the Lowveld range from a minimum of 8 to 24C (46 -75F) in the winter, rising to around 21 to 32C and upward (70 to 90F)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
